Yup, I broke RubyForge. Or rather, rubygems. For about an hour.
It turns out that a gem created with the latest (unreleased) beta causes serious problems with older versions of rubygems. I *think* it's because of the platform handling change, but I'm not positive. We'll have to review it on the rubygems-devel list.
Hey, if you're gonna break the gems repository, be sure you break it on a Friday night when no one but the alpha-geeks will notice!
Seriously, though, I'm glad this happened, because this opens up a whole new can of worms we need to deal with.
